Differences Between Bay and Bow Windows

If you are thinking about replacing that front window in your living room, why not make it fabulous? A bow or bay window is a great solution because you can get fabulous at a lower cost. No matter what type of window, bow or bay, you install in place of the old picture window, it will be more efficient and reduce your utility bills. This can help to pay back its initial cost. You should be able to recover most of the cost because it will increase your home’s resale value.

Bow windows are made of four or more windows. Five windows is a common configuration. Having more windows creates a more circular appearance that many people find attractive.

Bay windows are made from just three windows. The two angled side windows usually can be opened and are angled at 30 degrees or 45 degrees. The fixed center window is similar to a smaller picture window. A 45-degree bay window extends out further from the house wall and provides more space for plants or a bench seat.

There is not a significant difference in the energy efficiency or durability of a bow or bay window. Choose Energy Star windows and you can’t go wrong. Soon, you will save so much money; your windows will have paid for themselves!

Rob and his team at Alliance are wonderful! I had all the windows replaced in my very old house. From start to finish, they were very professional and courteous. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing work done. 5 star service!!!

Rob is the best! He is an honest salesman and it made all the difference in our experience. We are thrilled with our new double-paned windows. The noise control is amazing and they look wonderful. We were also amazed by how fast his installer got the job done. Rob’s customer service is definitely the highlight of our experience. We would recommend him to anyone!

I took 3 estimates on my window and door job for my older condo. Alliance had the best price and it appeared they were offering a superior product at that better price. Of course I went with Alliance and they installed just a couple days after the intended installation time frame. The job was done very efficiently and without incident.
